"When I tried acupuncture for the first time I had no idea what to expect. I had heard of acupuncture, and knew to expect to be pricked with needles, but beyond that I had no idea how acupuncture could be useful to me. In all honesty, I went simply to check it out. I did have a vague sense that the acupuncture session would “balance my Chi” which seemed like a pretty good thing, but not enough of a reason to get pricked with needles.

So, when I walked out of my first session with Denise Patnod I was floored to find that my chronically tight neck and shoulders were now blissfully loose and pain-free. When I returned to Denise a few weeks later, having injured my neck while moving a couch, my neck healed extra fast.

So, I’ve become a believer in acupuncture. Acupuncture is actually an entire system of medicine and its effects can be far reaching. Acupuncture is especially effective in treating digestive problems, menstrual problems and fertility, and managing pain.”

“Thank you Denise. I have been without shoulder pain since my third treatment.
I also had lower back pain. It was deep and stabbing. I am doing well with your suggestions regarding walking daily and paying attention to diet. Acupuncture is a great painkiller.”

“Denise treated my anxiety and depressed mood. I was staying in bed. I was also taking medication and did not want to add another antidepressant. Now, I am out of bed in the morning. I like myself more and my job is stable. I recommend acupuncture to those who struggle with mood disorders.”
